Best is to install mtools. With mdir, mcopy and such you
are able to write directly to the disk.

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt

If I were you, I'd buy 2 ethernet cards, a RG58 cable, two 50 ohm
terminators and build up a network. Install samba (-> ports section)
on your FreeBSD box. Then you can directly mount a via samba exported
filesystem to your Windows 95 box.
Better, faster, trickier, easier, than to use a floppy to
transfer files...
